Upon reaching shore, Viola decides to disguise herself as a young man. Mistaken identity and romance ensue. 'Tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on: Lady, you are the cruell'st she alive If you will lead these graces to the grave And leave the world no copy.
